if the shoes where flipped temple fans would be the exact same way..
if usf had won the division simply because they had a easier schedule (they had tulane and you had atop 25 navy) and you blew them usf and won every east division game
temple fans would be 100% the exact same way, i can almost guarantee it...i already member the non-stop obsession of temple fans trying to blame aresco for last year and not making a bowl
we ALL knew the amount of bowls we had last year coming into the season and what we traded before any game was played. instead of saying temple should have won more games to be higher on the todum poll you guys were trashing aresco
Completely different scenarios. One is for playing for the American championship, the other not having a bowl game after being eligible. If USF, or any American team, were 6-6, I'd be mad if they were excluded. On the other hand, the team with the best conference record wins their division and the right to go the CCG. Your analogy is deeply flawed.
but it seems temple fans are missing the fundemental issue that temple had a way easier road to the CCG than usf (to et the best conference record)
an exaggerated exmple...if 2 team in the big 10 west were playing for the west titles 1 team beats every team in the west, but drew ohio state, Michigan and Michigan st from the east ,and another team drew maryland, rutgers and psu and lost badly to the first team but won the division off general conference record..you have to acknowledge the disparity in the conference schedule
my argument is only deeply flawed because you are biased toward temple, 1 didnt benefit temple so its the proper thing to complain about it, 1 benefits temple so its not okay to complain about it
both at its core are ideologically the same...the situation and rules were established before a single game was played
it was acknowledged we would only have 6 bowls before the season started and 100% of our coaches/presidents were OK with that....but temple end up the 7th team so it wass okay for temple fans to NONSTOP trash the league, make 8 or 9 threads basically saying aresco robbed them, and how the league is bad, tons of posts about our conference being bush league, our league is this and that..
everyone not a temple fans was 100% okay with the decision to trade the bowl even after knowing temple was left out, becuase we all knew from the beginning of the season it meant we'd get a touted byu in a bowl game instead of a middling 6-6 c-usa for one of our better teams
IM 100% certain if the shoes were flipped with USF, temple fans would just as easily complain and probably louder as there are more temple fans than usf on this board
